more relevant is if your country can capitalize on the workers

like if a lot of skilled workers move over but

- they (mostly/majorly) don't settle, just stay for a few years

- they don't create companies in your country

- they don't work for companies in your country

- the companies they work with might directly compete with your local companies and now with having local representatives can do so better

Then if the tax breaks are worth it is solely a question of taxes they pay + money they spent vs. implicit cost of disruption they cause. Which might not be always worth it.

On the other hand the US doesn't focus on attracting digital nomads, they focus on their biggest/best companies attracting intelligence for themself. Which has a high chance of profiting the US especially given that they also tend to attract young talent which then build their business network in the US making it quite likely that they if they found a company they do so in the US.
